If I had immense power and could see everything?? My goal would be to convince everyone to treat others the way they want (or would want their beloveds) to be treated.
Roof, food, shelter, clothing, clean water, health care, education.

Well it all started in 1963. And I've been seeing lie after lie my whole life ever since. But I'm not gonna hold your hand and show you a bunch of arguing points. Not when you have to pay attention and find out for yourself anyway. Far as I'm concerned you can choose to be blind or a seeing eye dog either one. It's up to you.
I hope it's okay if not everybody sees the world like you do?

Problem is, once you give someone enough power to be able to give everyone these basic necessities... is that they become corrupt and greedy themselves.
So in the end nothing changes...basic selfish human nature dictates, every time... no matter how genuine the intentions were to begin with.

That's okay you're coming along nicely you grumpy so and so .............
I just showed you exactly how we're being lied to. What you do with it
is all you.
I got enough substance to make you paranoid!

Are you reading the thread at all?
If you are then you're right, I'm an idiot and you're wasting
your time. But the only problem is the one you're having.
We are becoming obsolete exponentially.

Imagine yourself privy to the whole world as it lay docile before your
power. Now imagine the only people you can trust are those who have
also gained such immense power. Would you hesitate to form an alliance
with others that share your unique fortune in life? Or would you begin to
consider the possibilities of your obscene fortune along the same lines
as any Godless human being?
To what point would amassing a gigantic fortune result in you searching out
first immortality? And second a world populated by only those you can trust?
And would you not look to minimize the threat against you? By eliminating the
need for those who you deem only necessary for yourself and those like you?
Thru automation and AI I think anyone would. Do you see how the timing of
everything is coming together all at once. We are becoming obsolete exponentially.
We face no greater threat than the wants and desires that manifest in the human
heart. Because far to much is never enough. Life extension and security would
definitely be on the agenda. Wouldn't you agree?
Im not sure humanity should be able to access immortality in any of its forms. At least not currently.
That's like saying that every criminal ate french fries, so french fries make people criminals.
